Abstract
Toxocara vitulorum is one of the common parasites affecting calves and
their life cycle has been well documented (Soulsby, 1982). Roberts (1993) has
exhaustively reviewed Toxocara vitulorum infestation in ruminants. Occassional
migration to the bile ducts (Sriv&stava 1963; Srivastava and Sharma, 1981) and
pancreatic ducts has been reported (Barker and Dreumel 1985; Jones and Hunt,
1983). A case of Toxocara vitulorum lodged in the gall bladder of calf is
presented in view of its aberrant location.
